Why I created Premium membership

It is my ambition to deliver the most relevent weather data for the purpose of cycling. The quality of this data is important to me. To maintain a high standard of data and the processing power that is required to deliver the key features of myWindsock Premium, it is necessary to charge a modest amount.

In combination with the unique Spatial V² weather model the features of Premium elevate weather analysis and cycling to an unparalled level and are now utilised by the Pro Peloton. I hope these additional features will also further enhance your enjoyment of our wonderful sport.
